I am using my smart women icon because it is just blatantly what I am not:

I am currently studying for English. Ballads make me want to eat my eyeballs because I can't understand them and sonnets make me write crap poetry. I told Anne I'd post this (I also told her it came out like vomit) so here goes. Take it seriously if you want. Note that the line numbers are placed for your convenience.

Woo! I know 2/3 of that poetry!

Actually, the sonnet isn't too bad, at least theme wise.

ENGLISH IS POOOOOOOOOOO.

aimeesworld October 23 2006, 04:44:18 UTC

Hahaha.

It's quite amusing as a poem, but as a sonnet it sucks. I didn't get anything right. I almost didn't even give it 14 lines.

I concur with that final statement.

I liked your sonnet! :) The other two were also awesome.

aimeesworld October 23 2006, 04:44:58 UTC

Thanks. It kind of missed pretty much all the structure of sonnet, but I was quite amused by it.

The other two are utterly fabulous.

I was too, very much.

Rupert Brooke is always great although the poor guy was sadly deluded re: war.

I have just read that one, from our Course Materials. Am now intrigued and must find more of his work.

You know, once, for like five minutes, I almost understood iambic pentameter in a very enlightened way. And then I forgot. :(

aimeesworld October 23 2006, 07:32:41 UTC

Hahahahahaha. Yeah, me too. I understand it, but I can't write it. I fucking suck at that. Believe me, I've tried many times.

da_crazy_1 October 23 2006, 08:30:36 UTC

Haha all those sonnets are awesome. Including yours :P

The 2nd one is particularly awesome.

aimeesworld October 23 2006, 23:56:50 UTC

Thank you. I love the second one. AK Grant was Katie's uncle. She's hoping it comes up in the exam.

da_crazy_1 October 24 2006, 06:50:25 UTC

really?
its a small world...

aimeesworld October 24 2006, 07:32:31 UTC

I know, yeah? She's hoping it comes up in the exam.

Eating eyeballs seems to be a frequent urge of yours these days. Perhaps you should just go ahead and do it. *grin* Do eeet!

I am thoroughly amused by your sonnet, but I do suspect that it's not following correct sonnetical form. (yay! new word!) Not that I know what sonnectical form is, but meh.

aimeesworld October 23 2006, 23:58:30 UTC

I picked it up from Ana. That happens quite frequently.

It is definitely not following the correct format. It should be in iambic pentameter and have a rhyming structure preferably of ababcdcdefefgg or abbaabbacdecde.

Yeah. I did a lot of study on them.

annemjw October 24 2006, 04:34:27 UTC

Oooooor: abbaabbacdcdcd

aimeesworld October 24 2006, 09:23:50 UTC

:P I don't like sonnets.
